The dates of the appearance of the perfect insect are 

 from the beginning of June to the end of July. 



The caterpillar is greyish ash-colour, with a double 

 row of black dots arranged triangularly along the back, 

 and a reddish stripe along the sides, above which is a 

 narrow whitish one. 



The date of the appearance of the caterpillar is from 

 May to June. 



The caterpillar feeds on the sorrel (JRumex acetosetta), 

 the thrift (Statice armeria), and the bitter cress (Cfor-

This is a very local species, but sufficiently common 

 where it is met with. One is always glad to meet with 

 it. It is a slow flier, and is on the wing in the day-time.
